Sound & Tone
A pair of G&L ASAT Classic single-coils gives this guitar bright, bell-like articulation, with a cutting bridge tone and a rounder, warmer neck position, while the pine body and boxed steel bridge with brass saddles add resonance and sustaining clarity behind every note. The Caribbean rosewood fingerboard smooths the top end slightly, and the simple three-way, volume and tone layout keeps those voices easy to move between. It sits naturally in country, roots rock, blues and rockabilly, and the 9.5" radius with Modern Classic neck geometry handles chordal rhythm work and string bending alike.
G&L USA ASAT Classic Build to Order Guitar 3 Tone Sunburst Rosewood
This unplayed, mint-condition ASAT Classic captures the balanced playability and responsive character that makes G&L's modern classic design an enduring studio choice. The Modern Classic neck profile sits naturally in the hand with its 1 11/16" nut width and carefully contoured depth, enabling comfortable tracking and overdubs through long session hours. The 3 Tone Sunburst finish with 3-ply tortoise shell pickguard presents a timeless aesthetic that pairs elegantly with the guitar's straightforward, functional architecture.
Recording Playability & Ergonomics
The neck combines Hard Rock Maple with satin clear finish and Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard, delivering smooth fret access and natural feel for consistent takes. The Modern Classic profile measures 1 5/8" string spacing with a 9.5" radius, 0.820" depth at the 1st fret tapering to 0.870" at the 12th fret—geometry optimized for both rhythm tracking and layered lead textures across studio applications.
Tone & Session Versatility
Two G&L ASAT Classic single-coil pickups deliver articulate, bell-like clarity with responsive dynamics that capture every nuance in the mix. The straightforward signal path—3-position pickup selector, volume, and tone—provides essential tonal shaping without sonic coloration, while the traditional boxed steel bridge with individual brass saddles ensures rock-solid intonation across multitrack recording sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What neck profile and dimensions does this guitar have?
The Modern Classic neck features Hard Rock Maple with a satin clear finish and Caribbean Rosewood fingerboard. The nut width is 1 11/16", string spacing is 1 5/8", and the 9.5" radius frets measure 0.820" at the 1st fret tapering to 0.870" at the 12th fret—designed for both rhythm and lead playing without hand fatigue.
What pickups and controls does it have?
The ASAT Classic uses two G&L single-coil pickups (neck and bridge) wired to a 3-position pickup selector, volume control, and tone control. The simple layout keeps your focus on playing, while the pickups deliver articulate, responsive dynamics ideal for rock and blues.
How does this compare to a Telecaster or Jazzmaster?
The ASAT Classic shares the offset single-coil character of a Jazzmaster but with a more straightforward control scheme and G&L's Modern Classic neck geometry. Compared to a Telecaster, it offers a warmer, more bell-like tone and a slightly wider nut for comfort, making it sit between classic Tele brightness and Jazzmaster warmth.
Is this guitar built to order, and what finish does it have?
Yes, this is a USA-made, build-to-order instrument finished in 3 Tone Sunburst with a 3-ply tortoise shell pickguard. It arrives in mint condition and ready to play, built to G&L's veteran craftsmanship standards.
What genres and playing styles is this best suited for?
The ASAT Classic excels in rock, blues, funk, and studio sessions. Its articulate single-coil clarity and balanced dynamics work best for players who avoid metal or heavily downtuned styles, favoring straightforward tone and responsive feel.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website.
